The position, near sea front !
It was poorly maintained , here’s a list !
Sink in toilet had the hot tap missing, just a hole where it should be and the toilet brush just fell off when used. No heating in there either.
The Roller blind in the shower room was grubby and window which would not shut. The main light lampshade was filthy which made the lighting poor.
Also it was freezing in there as the wind just blew straight in. The shower needed a good clean not very inviting!
Not all radiators worked so it was very cold and you couldn’t access heating controls .
The roller blind in the bedroom was broken and had to be rolled up by hand and lodged on window catch.
The kitchen sink unbelievably had no plug or washing up bowl so very difficult to wash up !!
It was another cold room as no radiator in there .
Not all lights were working in the corridor.
The fire escape door key was missing so there would be a problem if there was a fire outbreak and part of the fire escape was rusting away !

Apartment #5
- Outdated and Poor Condition: The apartment is dated. Peeling wallpaper and stuck windows were major issues.
- Bathroom: No extractor fan in the bathroom. A sign warned against opening the door, but the window was too old to open easily.
- Bedroom: The bedroom was very small, with no light bulb in the main fixture. The only power sockets were being used by the lamps, so we couldn't charge our devices and have light at the same time.
- Layout: The toilet is inconveniently located far from the bedroom.
- Parking: Very few around and a car park that was far

A good location (lovely 15-minute walk along the sea front to the shops) and a spacious apartment. We had two different apartments for our group, and both had ample space. Spoke with the owner prior to arrival, and she was very friendly and helpful.
Apartments were pleasant enough but could use some tlc; no hot water from taps in kitchen, kettle filter totally clogged, meaning limescale came out in every pour (had to use a sieve when pouring), no light bulb in bedroom, some blinds would not go up/down, damp patches on ceilings in some rooms. Most disappointingly, the welcome folder/pack said there was tea/coffee, fresh bread and prosecco for us to enjoy - which we'd read in other reviews had been provided too - but there was nothing left.

Very clean. Comfortable beds . Great location . . Perfect place to stay to enjoy Swanage and the Jurassic coast .
Disappointed to find no complimentary glass of prosecco or tea/coffee in the flat, specifically mentioned in the information. 😬Would have been welcome after a long drive . Maybe the information needs updating.

We booked for nights, and on the first night
we were in a small basic room with no facilities other than a kettle and tea bags but for the other two nights we were transferred into a very well equipped 2 room apartment for which we were very grateful.
Can’t think of any improvements

The property was in such a great location for getting to the beach and wandering down into swanage. It was so clean and tidy, really impressed with the standard of cleanliness and ideal for our two night stay! Carol was really helpful and gave us some recommendations of places to go in the town which was really kind.
The only issues we found was that the listing states toiletries are provided however there was no hand soap or shower gel etc. Not too much of a problem but we did expect to have hand soap in the bathroom. As we stayed in the upstairs apartment, the ceilings are quite angled so if you’re tall it’s probably not the best one, but luckily we didn’t mind much at all!

The location was the only good thing. The exterior of the building and communal hallways were very clean and fresh.
Internet was not available although advertised. Only 2 bath towels provided which were of poor quality and stained, a request for 2 handtowels produced one over 24 hours later. Only 1 of 3 light bulbs in bathroom worked, a problem mentioned in a review from July this year. Extractor fan thick with dust and shower fittings not clean. Hot water took several minutes to arrive. Photos are available.

Location of the property was fantastic, a short walk to the beach and all the facitilies there. Nice to be at the opposite end to the main area so it was quieter. Owner responded to request for a bedside lamp. Keys easy to get so no rush to meet anyone. New kitchen, with oven and hob (although we didn't use them).
Overall the property could do with a good clean. The important parts (toilet, sink etc) were clean, but the backs of the doors need to be vacuumed/cleaned, there is mildew and mould in the bathroom and the bathroom blind was not in good shape.
